Cotillion Bound

Well, this past Monday Vangie danced with a boy. She was wearing white gloves so there were no boy cooties exchanged. She learned the foxtrot, how to accept the invitation to dance from a boy a good head shorter than her, and that it is a good idea to remove your white gloves before eating a cookie. It was a full and prosperous evening. She'll go back next Monday and do it all again, maybe adding the waltz to her growing number of dance steps. Wish I could have done this when I was her age. Manner and poise is important, even if they are used  less frequently.  This week I'm going to practice kindness and see where it gets me. White gloves are optional.
